Chapter 281: Life and Death, Prince's Attitude!
Ye Nianchen had just entered the palace with his front foot, and the latest news was sent to a private room in a restaurant not far from the palace.
At this moment, there was already someone in the private room, and it was Gu Mingyi who she was thinking about.
In less than two months, Gu Mingyi's whole person was obviously much thinner, and his face was sickly pale, and he could hardly see any blood.
He was also in a bad spirit, and he sat on a soft fox skin cushion with his eyes closed, and even though the room was burning with warm charcoals, he was still covered with a thick cloak.
This was completely different from the situation when he left the capital before, as if he suddenly fell seriously ill.
"Childe, Sister Nianchen has successfully entered the palace, and all those who blocked her halfway have been disposed of, and she has not been injured in any way, so Childe can rest assured."
Yoko walked in and told Gu Mingyi the latest and fastest news in a timely manner.
"It's okay......" Hearing Yoko say that Ye Nianchen was safe, Gu Mingyi muttered, and a smile subconsciously appeared on his face, and his expression was slightly better than before.
Then, he looked at Yoko and asked, "Have all the people in the palace explained it?" ”
"Don't worry, Childe, the people in our palace have already made all the preparations, and they will definitely not let anything happen to Sister Nianchen."
Yoko smiled and reassured, looking the same as ever.
It's just that if Ye Nianchen is here, most of them will find the sadness in Yoko's eyes at this moment.
"There is no perfect plan in this world, but it's a pity that I can't come forward now. This girl insisted on solving everything herself, and now she just hopes that her luck will not be too bad. ”
Gu Mingyi's tone was a little helpless, but more of it was conniving and spoiling, and his eyes fell somewhere, as if he was looking at Ye Nianchen.
"Childe, are you worried about the prince?" Yoko put away her smile this time, and after thinking about it seriously, she said: "In my opinion, no matter how insidious and vicious the prince is, he should not harm Sister Nianchen at this juncture." After all, the prince would not be stupid enough to do the kind of thing that would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. ”
Yoko knew that her son-in-law was worried about Ye Nianchen's safety. So seriously relieved.
In fact, according to the current physical condition of the child, he has to live and recuperate, and the less he worries, the better. But now in this situation, Gongzi can't wait to be able to run to protect Ye Nianchen in person. is full of thoughts and minds are all about Sister Nianchen. Where is it possible to settle down and recuperate?
Yoko also understands. Instead of simply persuading the son not to worry about it, it is too unrealistic, it is better to try to be as happy as possible.
Hearing Yoko's words, Gu Mingyi shook his head slightly: "I'm not worried that the prince will harm her at this time." But the situation in the palace is not one-sided, and under the multi-party battle, the slightest slight change may lead to a drastic change in the situation, and the result may be completely different......"
"Childe, haven't you given the prince a derivation, there shouldn't be any big problem, it's still early, the son will rest first to recuperate, as soon as there is a new situation in the palace, I will immediately tell the prince."
Yoko was worried that Gu Mingyi's body would not be able to bear it, you must know that a lot of things happened along the way, but for the sake of Ye Nianchen, Gongzi ignored his body for several days without stopping, and he had just entered the city when it was almost dawn.
After entering the city, the son arranged this and that non-stop, and he didn't close his eyes until this meeting. Don't say that it is Childe's current physical condition, even a normal person is difficult to bear.
Therefore, Yoko was very worried, hoping that Gu Mingyi could rest for a while, so as not to be unbearable.
"Don't worry, I know my body, and when the matter here is over, everything will be fine." Gu Mingyi closed his eyes as he spoke, but he also smoothed Yoko's heart, and didn't let him bother to say anything.
Seeing this, Yoko finally breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to bother anymore, so she stayed quietly on the side.
Yoko herself can't say, whether all this is right or wrong, if it was a year ago, he would not hesitate to stand on the side of Childe's master and others, and no matter what, he would not be so willful and reckless as Childe. But......
But now, the situation is completely different from a year ago.
Yoko knows that for Childe, Sister Nianchen is afraid that she is already heavier than everything, so heavy that Childe can give up everything, even including his own life!
Whether it was right or wrong, he still couldn't understand, but he could probably understand Childe's heart.
Because Childe really likes Sister Nianchen, and it's not just a simple like, it should be said that it's love.
Yoko is not very old, but she can also understand the difference between liking and love, when like becomes love, for the sake of the person she loves, any giving and giving up becomes so unhesitating.
The charcoal fire in the room was getting stronger and stronger, and Yoko opened the ventilation window a little wider, and looked at the palace through that direction, although she couldn't see anything, her heart couldn't help but tighten up.
At this moment, Ye Nianchen had already come to Zhengyang Palace and stood in front of the emperor.
In addition to the emperor, the crown prince Li Zhi was also there, and when he saw Ye Nianchen arriving as scheduled, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The emperor's expression was not as good-looking as Li Zhi's, and he couldn't be clearer about what he had arranged, but he didn't expect Ye Nianchen to come to this time and come to him unharmed, and the people who were assassinated and ambushed all missed.
The emperor's idea was very simple, Ye Nianchen could no longer continue to live by her. However, he could also see that his prince, who was reluctant to attack Ye Nianchen at all, and even maintained it everywhere, which really disappointed him and made him angry.
But the crown prince is still the prince after all, and the emperor doesn't want to change the prince so abruptly so soon, as for him to know very well in his heart, now is far from the time.
It is precisely because of this that he will send someone to do this for the prince, which can be regarded as a ten-day agreement between himself and the prince.
Even if he didn't underestimate Ye Nianchen in the slightest, and made several preparations, it seems now. This woman is really not simple than he imagined!
But the more this is the case, there is no reason for him to get out of the palace alive today!
"Ye Nianchen, you are guilty!" Without any superfluous foreshadowing, the emperor immediately reprimanded him severely, obviously looking like he didn't make a difference whether he was guilty or not.
"Nianchen doesn't know what his crime is, and he dares to ask the emperor to show him." Ye Nianchen was very simple, standing there neither humble nor arrogant.
This situation is extremely strange, and the confrontation between the emperor and the people's daughter is so blunt.
Obviously, the emperor didn't plan to waste time with Ye Nianchen here. He said again: "It's okay to be disrespectful." Whether it is a deception or a king, just one is enough to take your life, and since you do not have the slightest intention to admit your guilt, then it naturally makes no difference what the crime is. ”
"Someone. Bring the gift of the concubine! "Say it. The emperor waved his hand. He gestured to the chief eunuch below.
The eunuch received the holy will, and quickly brought someone to bring a pot of wine to Ye Nianchen.
"Miss Ye, this is given by Concubine Jiang. also asked the girl to drink it immediately, and the prison could go to the concubine to return her life. The chief eunuch laughed so much that his eyebrows and nose were almost together.
"Unprovoked, why does the concubine give wine at this time?" Ye Nianchen didn't even glance at the wine, and said directly to the emperor: "It's obvious that the emperor himself gave the poisonous wine, so why pretend to be in the name of Concubine Jiang?" Isn't it that after I die, the emperor still plans to pull the Jiang family into the water? ”
Ye Nianchen's words really came straight to the end, and there was no need to leave any more affection: "My uncle is not such a stupid person, does the emperor think my uncle will believe it?" ”
"I am a king, he is a minister, if I say, he must be believed!" The emperor didn't deny that, whether it was Concubine Jiang or the Jiang family, who should bear the responsibility for Ye Nianchen's death, it was just to find a reason to deceive the world, and it didn't matter at all.
When Ye Nianchen heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "That's right, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, what the emperor said is the situation, how many people in this world dare to question it?" Moreover, the emperor has already done too many things like this, and he is very familiar with them, so there is really no big deal. ”
"Presumptuous!" The Emperor was immediately furious, after all, it was one thing to have many things to say, but it was another thing to say this to people's faces.
An emperor is an emperor after all, and in his mind, nothing can be his fault, and no one is allowed to challenge the authority of the emperor.
"Presumptuous is a dead end, if you are not presumptuous, the emperor also did not leave me a way to live, the emperor is the king, and has the greatest power in the world, but after all, he can't control people's hearts at will, he won't let me die for no reason, and I have to be grateful to you, right?"
Ye Nianchen said with a smile: "But I am not some of your foolish believers, and I am not a slave blood who never distinguishes between right and wrong, so the emperor doesn't care whether my attitude is obedient or not." ”
She spoke unhurriedly, without taking the crisis in front of her to heart at all, and such calmness made everyone in the palace subconsciously stunned.
"What a Ye Nianchen, I see that you have really cultivated an iron courage in Southern Xinjiang over the years!" The emperor was angry and laughed back, and he didn't bother to argue with Ye Nianchen at the moment: "No matter who gave this cup of wine, in short, it is prepared for you today!" I'll let you choose, and if you feel good, drink it yourself, so as not to ask people to help, that would be too ugly! ”
"I won't drink this wine!" Ye Nianchen didn't make the choice of drinking himself or being poured by others, he was so decisive when he spoke that he raised his hand and knocked the pot of wine in front of him directly to the ground.
"You, you're so rampant!" The chief eunuch was taken aback, he never thought that Ye Nianchen would be so bold, not only did he dare to say it, but he also did it directly, in front of the holy driver!
This, this, this, this is the first time he's seen him, the first time he's seen him!
"Okay, sure enough, if you don't eat a toast, you have to eat a penalty wine, the emperor is kind enough to give you face, you don't want it yourself, but it's no wonder to others!" The chief eunuch was really shocked and annoyed, but his reaction was so fast, where did he need the emperor to speak, and ordered directly to the guards on the side: "Come on, don't arrest this sinner who offended the emperor and execute it immediately!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor didn't mean to stop it, he just stared at Ye Nianchen with an expressionless face, acquiescing to the words of the chief eunuch, and now, he no longer cares whether the life and death of the woman in front of him can be covered by the reasons he thought before.
And those guards, of course, did not dare to resist the order, and quickly swarmed Ye Nianfa and prepared to make a move.
"Stop!" Just as the guards were about to make a move, the crown prince Li Zhi stopped loudly.
Since Ye Nianchen came, he has not spoken, and according to the emperor's wishes, he stood on the side and watched, and did not participate in anything else.
However, at this moment, seeing that his father and emperor directly asked him to be executed in front of the palace, of course Li Zhi could pretend to be out of the world again.
"Prince, do you want to resist the decree?" The emperor's eyes widened and he glared at Li Zhi angrily.
His own son himself still knows more or less that he can deal with all matters indifferently, but he can't be ruthless to a woman, and the prince is extremely dissatisfied with this, and he can't tolerate it!
"Father, the son doesn't dare!" Li Zhi stepped forward, almost side by side with Ye Nianchen, and said respectfully towards the emperor: "It's just that the son hopes that his father can think twice, after all, Ye Nianchen is not an ordinary people's daughter, and her life is important for the stability of southern Xinjiang!" ”
"Nonsense! Is this what you should say as a prince? The emperor was furious at the moment, and said, "I have long known that you have a childlike affection for this woman, so you have become soft-hearted!" Since you can't get rid of this scourge with this hand, I don't blame you, I will do it for you today! But look at what you have become now, for the sake of a daughter who has mistaken the country, is this what a prince should do? ”
"The father is angry, and the sons just feel that Nianchen has indeed done nothing heinous, and it has nothing to do with the personal affairs of the children!" Li Zhi's expression was a little weird, which made people unable to see through, but he was extremely fighting for Ye Nianchen: "The son thinks that Nianchen is not the kind of scourge that his father said, and it will not endanger the society of the country, and he asks his father to deal with it lightly!" ”
"Shut up! I see that you are dazzled by this woman, and you can even say such things to me again and again for her sake! ”
Seeing the crown prince protecting Ye Nianchen like this, the emperor was even more annoyed, pointed at Li Zhi and said: "I will say it again, today is either her death, or your prince will change the throne, and the East Palace will change the master, if you are still so confused at this moment, then I have no place to hesitate, I have to spend more effort to choose another Ming Chu!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs and guards below couldn't help but say in unison: "Please calm the emperor's anger!" Please think twice! Please calm the emperor's anger! Please think twice! ”
Li Zhi's expression finally changed greatly, he no longer had the firmness he had before, his eyes subconsciously swept over Ye Nianchen beside him, and hesitation and uneasiness gradually emerged. (To be continued.) )
